    i recognized now on a custom site that some of the “smaller” cropped images on Enfold are much more bigger than the original uploaded image ???
    Is there a good way to avoid that. Or to have a better recalculation method in Enfold? – My uploaded images are well optimized! – and i don’t want to loose the performance advantage on inserting “smaller” images

    the total upload (the original files i uploaded on that customer) are 11MB
    the whole upload including the resized images : about 200MB

    for example one of my banner images is 324kb big – by my standards this is already a very large original picture
    all resized images from 845px, 1030px, 1210px, and 1500px (3 cropped files) are bigger than the original size – some of them are 2 or 3 times bigger in memory size ???

    i will now test optimus

    how does optimus work ? does it take the original image and will then optimise from that source the new recalculated size?
    Or does it take as source the allready recalculated images? because some of them are out of quality !

    Hey Guenter!

    This seems to be related to the “av_return_100” function. It sets the quality of the uploaded image to 100 instead of the WP default 80.

    on uploading my images – i do not want to have a recalculation – because my images are best optimized as possible.
    so i sometimes have that function :

    add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', create_function( '', 'return 100;' ) );

    but on that customer site i do not have this in use.

    on Enfold 4.4.1 this is set by default ? – but even if so – the algorithm seems to be a bit strange.
    My images are on compression level (Photoshop) from 35 to 60%) depends on the content.
    decompress – crop – compress will cause in more memory size but less sharpness.
    In times where f.e. mozjpeg is able to nearly create good compression good resolution images it might be good to have this for creating the cropped image sizes.

    PS Optimus free only handels images less than 100kb

    Hi,

    Yes, it is set to 100 by default. You can override the filter as described on the previous thread. Have you tried the “Shortpixel” plugin?

    short-pixel seems to be one solution. But it is “expensive” they have a credit system. And when you’re in a hurry, you just bite the bullet

    From nearly 211 MB upload folder size to 54MB – thats ok. and realy – you can’t see a big difference to the “Enfold recalculated Sizes”

    Hi,

    Yes, it’s a bit expensive. The plugin author provided a promo or discount code for Enfold users but I’m not sure if it’s going to be included in the Performance panel. (see private field)
